Freeman Cosmetics makes a lot of cruelty-free bath and body products for very reasonable prices. They used to have this great rose shampoo and conditioner that I really liked, but they stopped producing it years ago. I was really excited to buy this body butter — it’s sooo cheap! $4.49 for 8 ounces! Available at your local Walgreens! Unfortunately, I’m not really impressed with most of Freeman Cosmetics current products, and this body butter is no exception. Freeman Cosmetics says that it is a “thick, rich body butter, blended with sunflower seeds and vanilla extract” that “hydrates, conditions, and softens dry skin.” However, I don’t think it has a very thick or rich texture — I found it difficult to apply because it has a weird jello-like texture. I’m not sure if it’s just because I’ve been using a lot of organic products lately, but it felt weirdly plasticky and unnatural as well — nothing like L’Occitane’s shea butter, basically. It didn’t sink in very quickly, and I really did not care for the fragrance - Soothing Comfort: Sunflower and Vanilla Sugar. Though I think I’m in the minority on that one — a bunch of people on Makeup Alley really liked the scent. Because it was so inexpensive I’ve given it 2/5 stars instead of 1/5 stars. So it’s a good choice if you’re really broke.

Freeman Beautiful Body Butter is available for $4.49 at Freeman Beauty.
